Pixel 11 envy? Here's how to unlock its best new feature on any Android device
Have you heard? It's that time of year again — time for some snazzy new Pixels to tempt our gadget-coveting "gimme!" reflexes and guide flagship Android phone expectations for months to come.

Google's latest and greatest gizmo is the Pixel 11 series, which includes the regular Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro alongside the plus-sized Pixel 11 XL and Pixel 11 Pro XL and the fancy new folding Pixel 11 Pro Fold model (gesundheit!). El Googaloo took the wraps off all those new devices on Wednesday and has 'em all available for preorder now, with prices starting at $899 (regular Pixel 11), $1,099 (Pixel 11 Pro), and $1,299 (Pixel 11 Pro Fold).

At first glance, this year's Pixel models might not seem like the most exciting upgrades from last year's Pixel 10 products. They bring plenty of significant refinements to an already successful formula, with some welcome ticks forward — like better cameras, brighter and more scratch-resistant displays, faster charging speeds, and an updated processor that supposedly leads to speedier and more efficient performance. And, of course, there's more Gemini everywhere (for better

Hackers are compromising hotel Wi-Fi gateways to hijack Microsoft 365 accounts
Traveling enterprise employees beware: Think twice before you log onto that oh-so-convenient public Wi-Fi.

Since at least June, threat actors have been compromising "captive" Wi-Fi gateways and other portal appliances at hotels, conference centers, and similar shared venues to hijack users' Microsoft 365 accounts, according to the ReliaQuest Threat Research team.

Once a threat actor controls a gateway, they can silently redirect a user's traffic to their own infrastructure and steal their Microsoft 365 credentials without ever touching the user's device, compromising endpoints, or sending phishing links or malicious attachments.

"The most dangerous element is that it operates at the network gateway, which sits beneath most of the trust assumptions users and devices make," ReliaQuest told CSO Online. "It's not necessarily an enterprise breach level event on its own, but it's a very real risk to individual accounts."

Exploiting a ‘fundamental trust' Domain Name System (DNS) poisoning, in which false data is injected to redirect regular web traffic to fraudulent domains, has previously been observed on small office routers, but attackers are now expanding the technique to higher-level targets, the ReliaQuest researchers explained in a blog post.

Google's anti-search-scraping lawsuit dismissed
A court has dismissed Google's case against SerpApi over that company's scraping of search results to train AI models.

The US District Court for the Northern District of California found that there was no indication that any copyright had been breached.

Google announced in December that it was suing SerpApI for its alleged web scraping, claiming that it was protecting copyright holders. In February, SerpApI fought back and asked the court to dismiss Google's case. And this week, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers agreed with SerpApi that Google's case has no merit.

Google's argument was that SerpApi's actions breached the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA). It made two claims: first, that no person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title, and second that no person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, or component protected by the Act.

SerpApi claimed that the URLs and other links that were being served by Google did not in themselves entail copyright and the judge agreed. In h

How to securely erase your Android device in 3 simple steps
It's an inevitable moment in the smartphone-owning cycle: the point at which a newer, shinier model comes along and your trusty old device is no longer needed.

Maybe your company bought you a new Android phone. Maybe your old one was getting too slow. Or maybe you just love electronics and couldn't resist the lure of whatever eye-catching new Android gizmo your favorite manufacturer started selling.

Whatever the case, it's common nowadays to find yourself with an extra phone. And while there are plenty of practical uses for an old Android device, there's also a time when the best choice is to sell, donate, or otherwise pass it along.

What is Stolen Device Protection for iPhone and how does it work?
Take that, iPhone thieves — Apple is about to make it even more difficult to use its smartphones when you have no right to do so. In the upcoming iOS 17.3, it is testing out a new security system called "Stolen Device Protection."

Here's a look at what this is, and what it does.

Stolen Device Protection explained Apple's beta notes explain: "Stolen Device Protection adds an additional layer of security in the unlikely case that someone has stolen your iPhone and also obtained your passcode."

The company explains the features this way:

Accessing your saved passwords requires Face/Touch ID to be sure it's you. Changing sensitive settings like your Apple ID password is protected by a security delay. No delay is required when iPhone is at familiar locations such as home and work. The idea is that Stolen Device Protection introduces another obstacle that makes it difficult for thieves to gain access to your data, erase it, or delete the device to factory fresh status for resale.
